That’s right, we are starting 2019 with a new name. We have changed from the WP Blood Transfusion Service to Western Cape Blood Service for two main reasons. Firstly, geographically we are situated in the Western Cape and secondly, we collect, test and transport the blood but we don’t transfuse the blood. During 2019 we will also be implementing various exciting campaigns. One such campaign is our 2019 loyalty card campaign. Be sure to get your loyalty card when you donate blood. If you commit to donating 4 times during 2019 you will receive a beach/picnic mat on your 4th donation. If you bring a new buddy with you when you donate you will get another beach/ picnic mat on the 4th time. Please make sure that you Blood saves get your sticker! Thank you to all our regular and new blood donors for your support during 2018. We look forward to sharing lives! 2019 with you. BY DEVON WALBRUGH Yours in blood donation Michelle Vermeulen On the 27th of November 2017, Devon Walbrugh came home from work not feeling well. He was light headed and felt a tad nauseous, symptoms that one could easily misinterpret as a tummy bug or just the usual daily work stress. Little did Devon and his family know that the evening and the days to follow, would be an incredible traumatic journey. As the evening progressed, Devon’s health started to deteriorate. His wife, Chanel was preparing the kids for bed when she heard distinct gurgling noises coming from the bathroom. She found him non-responsive, he had collapsed over the bath. Emergency services were immediately contacted and he was rushed to hospital. He initially presented with low iron levels. Within the next 24 hour period, he was losing consciousness and hospital staff quickly moved him to ICU. Devon was now bringing up blood. He was rushed into theatre before midnight on the evening of the 28th November, where emergency surgery was done on his chest and stomach to remove a tumour. Devon was bleeding profusely from the inside of his stomach and suffered massive blood loss. Medical staff advised that a total of 20 units of blood were administered to Devon, which saved his life. He was given a second chance in life because of the selfless efforts of people who donate blood. He would like to encourage everyone who is eligible to donate blood, to do so without hesitation. Devon, his wife and children, would like to sincerely thank all blood donors as this story could have had a very On The Cover: Gavin Arends & Kerry McIntyre different ending if it wasn’t for you.

A total of 32 units of blood were collected on the day. The highlight of the day was when our Blood Buddy arrived. Promoting blood donation at Vititec Wellness day in Paarl BY TINYIKO MNGQIBISA On 11 November 2018, Vititec in Paarl hosted a wellness day for their employees. WCBS was part of the wellness day to generate awareness about blood donations, and inform Vititec employees of our Thursday blood clinics. Employees that were interested in having their iron levels tested were given the chance to do so. Employees whose haemoglobin (HB) levels were low were keen on finding out why and what they could do to increase it. Other participants on the day included Discovery, SpecSavers and Careen Joubert who runs her own dietetic and lactation consultation. Joubert and her husband are both regular donors. She shared information on healthy eating habits and even gave free popcorn to everyone. All employees and participants were treated to a free lunch, and received a free hand massage from SH’Zen agents. Corporate wellness is an investment in the physical and mental health of employees by creating a healthier, happier and more relaxed environment. Corporate wellness can improve the overall productivity, health and morale of staff, while reducing stress levels in the workplace. Having a wellness programme provides benefits for both the organisation and its employees. 8 South African Physio-Society Reconstructing lives through physical therapy and blood donation BY MELANIE ROSSOUW Physiotherapy aims to improve one’s this day.

    PREMIER ALAN WINDE STATE OF THE PROVINCE ADDRESS 2020 1 Good morning!! I’m going to do the protocol a little bit differently today: Residents of Mitchells Plain and surrounds! All citizens of the Western Cape Special Guests Community leaders Religious leaders Police Service leaders Honourable Speaker Honourable Members of the Provincial Cabinet and Legislature Members of the Consular Corps Honourable leaders of political parties, members of the National Assembly and National Council of Provinces Director General of the Western Cape Heads of Provincial Departments Leaders of Local government Colleagues, friends and family It is fantastic to be here in Mitchells Plain today! It is an honour to be delivering my State of the Province Address in front of this community, and it is a special honour to be delivering it in this venue. The Rocklands Civic Centre is no stranger to historic events. It was here that the United Democratic Front rose up against the evils of Apartheid. It was here that people of all walks united behind the idea of a democratic South Africa in which everyone would be free. Over the years, thousands of people have entered through those doors- for community programs, important discussions, for weddings and celebrations. There is no better place than this place, a Provincial heritage site, for us to host this historic SOPA - the first SOPA outside of the Provincial Parliament, right here in one of our communities. So, let’s get down to the business of this house, which is for me to reflect on what we have delivered to date, and to lay out our delivery priorities for the future, to our audience here today, and across the province.

    University of the Western Cape EXCLUSION BY DESIGN: A CONSTITUTIONAL ANALYSIS OF ADMISSION POLICIES AND PRACTICES IN SELECTED CAPE TOWN SCHOOLS BERNITA ISAACS (Student number: 8531486) A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Magister Educationis (M.Ed.) Department of Educational Studies University of the Western Cape Supervisors: Dr. Neetha Ravjee and Dr. Chesné Albertus 2019 http://etd.uwc.ac.za/ KEYWORDS Access to Education Inclusive Education Exclusionary Policies Exclusionary Practices Education Equality Ability Testing Social Difference Education Rights Critical Education Theory State obligation i http://etd.uwc.ac.za/ ABSTRACT School admission policies are powerful tools that can sometimes contain provisions that are in conflict with the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa and other legislation and policies which regulate education in South Africa. Provisions relating to fees, documents required for admission and specific admission practices may have the effect of excluding certain learners from admission to schools. Such practices include charging application fees, charging registration fees, administering admission tests and demanding only specific documents for proof of address. On the face of it, these practices may seem unproblematic, but in effect, they exclude certain learners. This may be contrary to South African Law. Section 36 of the Constitution allows for the limitation of rights. Differentiation or discrimination may be permissible; however, it is unfair discrimination that is prohibited. Consequently the constitutionality of these policies and practices investigated are measured against the protection afforded by the Constitution. This study identifies some of these exclusionary provisions and practices at schools and proposes possible ways to eradicate and combat them.

  • Report on the 2016 SAIIA Interschool Quiz on International Affairs
    Report on the 2016 SAIIA Interschool Quiz on International Affairs SUMMARY OF QUIZ 2016 ‘The challenge is great. The kids learn so much. It’s a game changer.’ Teacher, Glendale Secondary. We believe this statement by one of the teachers working with the quiz team from her school sums up the impact of the SAIIA Interschool Quiz. For so many, it is a game changer, a point that opens up the world to young minds, and young minds to the world. With this in mind, the SAIIA Western Cape Quiz Committee set about planning the 24th SAIIA interschool Quiz on International Affairs. Begun in 1993, the quiz is designed to draw learners of all backgrounds from among the schools in the Western Cape into reading world news, and especially news and analysis about South Africa’s international affairs. Invitations go out annually to a wide range of schools and, except for several reserved spots for new or developing schools, respondents are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. For a seventh year running, a pre-quiz workshop gave less-resourced schools, and especially schools who did not fare well in the previous year, an opportunity to receive coaching on gleaning information from the papers and practise for the quiz through a ‘mini-quiz’, as well as an introduction to the world of international affairs. Romy Chevallier, a senior researcher in SAIIA’s Governance of Africa’s Resources Programme based in Cape Town, led the workshop on 5 March at the Diocesan School for Boys (Bishops). Thirteen schools took part in total.
